Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes amendments to the Justice of the Peace Court (Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin) Order 2008 (“the 2008 Order”).

The 2008 Order makes provision for the establishment of a JP court in Glasgow (and the associated disestablishment of the existing district courts). The majority of the provisions of that Order will come into force on 8th December 2008, however, certain transitional provisions came into force in respect of the establishment of the JP court on 10th November 2008.

Article 9 is inserted to make provision for the transfer of property, rights and liabilities to the Scottish Ministers of the heritable property which is specified in the newly inserted Schedule 2, that being one of the existing Glasgow District Court buildings. A plan delineating the extent of the heritable property described in Schedule 2 is held by the Scottish Government Criminal Justice Directorate at St. Andrew’s House, Regent Road, Edinburgh, EH1 3DG.

References in these newly inserted provisions to the “relevant date” will attract the definition given to that term in article 1 of the 2008 Order. “Relevant date” is defined there as meaning 8th December 2008.
